Rather than the TRH, wouldn't it be better over the road at Her Majesty's? It's already got the mechanism in place for a falling chandelier.

Or maybe the Palace since Del Boy and Rodney walk past it in the 2001 special...?

Does anyone really want to see this without David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst etc?

Does anyone really want to see this without David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst etc? This is a fair point - a lot of the reason I still love the show to this day is the cast, they’re gonna have to really nail the casting for this for the fans to love it

It will be interesting to see what era they pitch the show in, will it be just the Three Trotters in the flat - option of Granddad or Uncle Albert or will they have Raquel and Cassandra in it too?
I'd figure they'd do the latter as Raquel and Cassandra became well known characters.
Boycie, Marlene and Trigger would be main supports plus Mickey, Denzil and Mike as named characters. Taking it beyond those named characters would stretch it a bit too much but there will obviously be other ensemble support.

With regards to casting , I know DJ and NL is probably dream casting to reprise their roles, but how about getting the actors who play Boyce and Marlene so at least you’ve got some of the original cast?

I wouldn't be surprised if the usual UK comedians who also dabble in theatre would go up for this.
Producers love a name, so if none of the original members are there, they might go for people like Lee Mack or Jason Manford as Del, Tom Rosenthal or Blake Harrison as Rodney, as Rhod Gilbert or Mickey Flanagan as Trigger, or even John Bishop for Boycie,
Basically, everyone I can't stand.

"Nice and cool son, nice and cool - you know what I mean?"... I agree with all the comments made by Dave.

Am I the only one who thinks Charlie Stemp would make a great Rodney?

I really, really hope Shane Richie isn't involved.

The reason this was so successful was because of the sublime original cast. The thought of a musical version with anyone else in these iconic roles seems doomed. It appeals to a generation that will remember the originals so well.
The thought of some of the "names" that would take on these roles makes me shudder. I won't name names but you all know who they are......

Now we just need Will Young to sign up as Del-Boy and Matt Cardle to come on board as Grandpa.

Oh this just all sounds so low rent. When this opens, the Bad Behaviour thread is going to implode.

Anyone heard about this? They're currently casting with a view to West End 2019! Not sure if it will have an out of town first. Only heard as a mate is on second round for it.

In tonight’s Standard: ‘we hear that Danny Dyer, currently approaching national treasure status in the UK after his daughter Dani Dyer won Love Island, has signed up to appear in an as-yet-unannounced West End musical this Christmas.’
Could it be OFAH? 🤨😝

A serious question. Can DD sing? I imagine he's done Children in Need, but what about proper, eight performances a week singing.

Could be OFAH though.

The article indicated a new musical at Christmas which makes me think it might be something seasonal. He is either going to be the producer in Nativity The Musical (the role Louis Walsh had last year) or starring in Fiddler at the Menier. Please god no.
